UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICEo CHARLES KLEIN, OF CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI.

MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,318, dated Cctober13, 1885.

Application filed April 30, 1885.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES KLEIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cape Girardeau, in the county of Cape Girardeau and State ofMissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSpring-Motors; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the lettersand figures of reference marked thereon.

The present invention has for its object to provide a simple andeffective spring-motor to impart a rotary motion to such cylinders asare used in coffee-masters, Washing-machines, churns, and other machineswherein is employed a horizontal rotary cylinder; and the inventionconsists in the several details of construction, substantially as shownin the drawing, and hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, which represents a perspective View of myinvention, I have shown it as applied to a coffee-roasting cylinder,which is preferably constructed of wire-gauze, the cylinder A beingprovided with the usual door, a.

The frame, which is applicable as a support for all classes of cylindershaving a horizontal rotary motion, consists of three metal sections, B OD, which I term openframe or skeleton7 sections, and are connectedtogether by horizontal stay-rods b, forming together a very light anddurable frame for the machine. y

The two end sections C D form bearings for the shafts hereinafterdescribed, and the section B is provided with a handle, c, a similarhandle, d, being connected to the opposite end of the frame forconvenience of lifting and moving the machine from one place to another,as found desirable.

The shaft e of the cylinder A has its bearings in the frame, and at oneend has a spring, E, connected thereto, one end of the spring beingfastened to the shaft and the opposite end Serial No. 163,921. (Nomodel.)

to a short bolt, f, between the frame-sections C D.

A gear-wheel, F, is connected to the shaft e and located upon theoutside of the framesection D, said wheel being provided with a ratchet,g, with which engages a pawl, h, retained in operating posit-ion by aspring, a'.

Engaging with the teeth of the Wheel F is a pinion, G, mounted upon ashort shaft, k, which has its bearings in the framesections C D.

The outer end of the shaft k is connected to an escape-wheel, H, withwhich alternately engage the pallets Z on the shaft m, said shaftcarrying the balance or ily wheel I.

To the frame-section D is bolted or otherwise fastened a casing, K, tocover the gearing and shield it, the gearing being located at the end ofthe frame for this purpose.

The skeleton-frame sections B C D are each cast with legs u, to supportthe cylinder at the required height to allow the heat to freelycirculate under it when used as a coffee-roaster or steam-washer.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a spring-motor, the combinationfwith the three skeleton-framesections B C D, con nected together by horizontal stay-rods b, andsupporting a suitable cylinder, of the spring E, located between thesections G D, and connected to the bolt f and shaft of the cylinder, thegear-wheel F and ratchet g, keyed to the shaft of the cylinder, and theescape-wheel H, pinion G, iiy-Wheel I, and pallets Z, mounted upon shortshafts having their bearings in the frame-sections C D, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed myname inthe presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES KLEIN.
